Default Good Extract kits?

Where do you guys get malt extract recipe kits? Finished my first batch today, and wanna have the next recipe ready to roll once my primary is free.

Thanks

Anything from Austin Home Brew is pretty good. They have a huge selection and the couple I have ordered from there have been good.

I've gotten a few True Brew's that have been passable, and a few NorthernBrewer kits that have been far better. Been just going with recipes since.

These guys are on point IMO, lightning fast shipping and I even got a phone call the next day from a live person about my order, not the usual e-mail 5 days later.
Cheers,
Brian

I've used brewers best kits a lot. Only because that's what I can get locally without having to pay for shipping and wait for it to get to me. All of the BB kits that i've made have turned out great. Brewers Best offers a pretty good selection of kits as well. The directions that come with em' are AWFUL though, don't use them. Go by the instrustions that are listed on the forums for extract brewing.

I have tried several Coopers kits (my pre-hopped extract kits of choice - so far) and 1 (blue Moon) clone partial mash from AHS.

I'd go and get Jamil's book "Brewing Classic Style". He has great proven recipes and you can buy the ingredients anywhere.

I buy through Midwest Supplies. They have a good selection, and they have the option to upgrade to Wyeast or White Labs yeast for a couple of bucks more. All of my orders have come in within a few days and have been 100% accurate.

Anyone have any good recommendations for a Canadian source of extract? The duties at the boarder kill me when ordering anything from the US.
